Yep, strange but he just doesn't seem to have marketed them at all. If he had we'd have seen them on here long before now as this has been an issue we've all bemoaned for years. Strange to not even have a shopping cart on his site or a PayPal page. Hopefully they're his "best kept secret"!

I've been looking in to mgr a set for myself, looking for the right materials. If someone else is already doing it and they work, I'M IN.
Even yesterday I was doing a key word search trying to find something.
Thx for posting this.

OK, was gonna install these tomorrow but we're off to celebrate the in-law's 50th wedding anniversary in the morning so I'll try to get them done this evening. Rain is forecast for tomorrow so it shouldn't take long to figure out if they work as advertised.

OK! All installed and well tested with copious amounts of water, equivalent to a serious storm!
The Good News:
THEY WORK! They guide the water nicely down along the windscreen pillar and deposit the other side of the door. That's all I wanted!!
For those with Safari snorkels, no need to worry, they fit mm perfect, at least on mine.
The Bad News:
They're not quite "peel back the tape and stick". If your JK is 07 - 10 like mine, you need to drill a hole in the guttering on either side before you install the drip rails. It's not a biggy but if you don't want to remove the panels be careful to put some metal behind where you're drilling to stop you accidentally drilling straight through into the cab. Took about an hour total to install. Some will go slower, some quicker but I'm a pedantic sod and like things done exactly right so I spent a few minutes just touching up the edges of the holes with black paint before installing the drip rails. A full set of instructions and pics will arrive with the rails so for those who aren't sure there's enough info to do the job easily, even if you've got 6 thumbs.

Do you have any exterior pics with the doors closed? Glad this solved the problem, I have a good feeling this may also solve my problem of water leaking down the A pillar and filling up the floor during rain storms. Thanks for the find! Hopefully he has some more available.
